One Watch Is Not Enough For Ted Cruz

Ted Cruz, who rose victorious at Monday's Republican Iowa Caucus, wants Americans to believe he is a regular, uncomplicated guy (just like all the other evangelist bros). But like most other "homegrown" "regular person" politicians, we think he doth protest a bit too much and now we have proof. According to The Atlantic and before that, a tweet from a writer at Mad Magazine, Mr. Cruz is in fact so high maintenance and complex, that one watch just isn't enough for him.

But sadly, as it turns out Cruz is actually just wearing a watch and a Fitbit. This makes him look decidedly less crazy, but it's still not a style move we'd endorse. Especially now that smartwatches are readily available from multiple brands at multiple price points. He wouldn't necessarily need to get an Apple Watch (if he thought it might alienate his supporters). There are plenty of smartwatches that hide their tech guts inside the body of a classic wrist watch. In general, doubling up on accessories like this will make you look hella cluttered. And if it's for counting Cruz's steps, well can't he get an intern to do that?
